probably chasing my toddler or next 5-star read 🌼
Hiiii, I'm Jess, a 36-year-old recovering workaholic who spent my 20s sacrificing whatever it took to make my goals happen because hustle culture told me that was the only way to achieve "success." That led to burnout and a life that looked good on paper but left me feeling unfulfilled (and rly exhausted, lol)
My 30s are dedicated to slowing down, healing from burnout, and building my version of a peacefully productive life. I founded my planner + productivity company, Hustle Sanely, in 2018 to help other women with really full lives manage it all without losing their minds.
Around here, you’ll find Hustle Sanely podcast episodes (ofc) + book content because reading novels is one of my favorite ways to rest and has played a big role in helping me recover from burnout!
(P.S. I used to be in grad school for speech-language pathology before my planner business took off in 2019 — some of those old SLP videos are still here by request)

which type of video do you like watching better? 👀
vlog style examples:
~ siri chooses how many pages I read every day for a week
~ reading for 24 hours
~ doing book stuff
~ this video ends when I find a 5-star read
sit-down style examples:
~ monthly/quarterly reading wrap-ups
~ spring book recs
~ my top 10 reads from 2025
~ books to read if you like Gilmore Girls
I'm planning my March and April content next week, hehe!
